Chris M did a great Ghetto Walkthrough as he did his first install recently. He had a little trouble with the forum software limiting the number of pics allowed in a thread so I've hosted it on MTB Techniques with a little editing until Gareth has time to put it on the MTB Britain main page.

For a nervous ghetto wannabe it's taken the fear factor out of going tubeless.

I'm still unwilling to drill my rims so will be staying with Presta valves. I've found one of these valve adapter which should overcome the issue of using a compressor to inflate the tyres - and handily enough my next door neighbour has a compressor

I was going to do exactly the same.The only thing that stopped me was the availability of the Presta 20" tubes with removeable cores (I wanted a foolproof way of adding the sealant and rapid inflation.)

I was extremely nervous of drilling my rims but, to be quite honest, it's laughably straightforward. I bought a new, good quality drill bit and it thumped through with not a hint of a problem.The resulting hole is not even much larger than the original Presta (I have narrow rims so was nervous of that too.)

Anyway, good luck with the Presta, but if you do have a rethink, I found drilling the rims very straightforward and I really am the Homer Simpson of DIY

Cheers,

Chris

EDIT: The front was fine this morning so I've just finished doing the rear as well
